If you can't dilineate between the design appeal/aesthetic of Animal Crossing, Super Mario, Pokemon, Mickey Mouse, Lego versus say James Bond, Resident Evil, Turok, 1080 Snowboarding, Perfect Dark, Eternal Darkness, etc. then sure, this thread is probably lost on you.

For everyone else, have at it.

And the appeal of the first GoldenEye directly lead to Activision making GoldenEye (2010) on the Wii, which is one of the best selling non-family-oriented games on the console.

I can certainly differentiate between James Bond and Mario, but I can't categorize all games so simply into two groups of "family-oriented" and "hardcore".

I'd contest that there's as much difference between the audiences for 1080 Snowboarding and Resident Evil as there is between, say, Pokemon and Just Dance. I doubt I'm the only one here who thinks this way and I highly doubt that the sales of games work that way, making this thread seem rather silly to me.

@happydolphin I'm not sure I can even agree that there is a witchhunt. Of course, that may be because I'm part of it, but I really don't see any reason for which you should be so passionately against anyone who's on the other side of this "casual Nintendo" argument. You find us overly defensive and dismissive of any arguments against Nintendo and we find you ridiculous in your arguments. There's nothing objectively wrong with us that I can concede we need to improve.

Regardless, telling people off really never helps, :P. No one's gonna concede that they've been doing something wrong when you just outright say it to them like that.
